Parking Passes
Interagency Annual Pass
If you are planning to visit several national parks or forests, or to visit for several days at a time, an annual pass is the best way to go. These passes, which can be purchased in our shop online, at ranger stations, or national park visitor centers, are valid for one year from month of purchase. The Interagency Annual Pass allows you into Oregon, Washington, and US sites and facilities operated by the following agencies:
- National Park Service
- US Forest Service
- Bureau of Land Management
- Bureau of Reclamation
- US Fish & Wildlife Service
These passes cover the pass owner as well as the passengers that accompany the owner in a single non-commercial vehicle. Enhanced and discounted versions of the Interagency Annual Pass (the America The Beautiful pass) are available for senior citizens (62+) and for persons who are blind or permanently disabled. Free passes are available to active military personnel and to US citizens or permanent residents of the United States who have put in 500 or more volunteer hours. Interagency annual passes don’t cover expanded amenity fees (such as developed campgrounds or facilities) or special recreation permits.
Annual Northwest Forest Pass
The Annual Northwest Forest Pass allows you to access day-use sites and facilities operated by US Forest Service in Oregon and Washington for one year from month of purchase. This pass takes the form of a hangtag that you place on a vehicle’s rearview mirror. Decals are available for motorcycles. These passes can be purchased online in our shop.
Oregon State Parks Day-Use Parking Pass
You can purchase a State Parks day-use parking permit online directly from Oregon Recreation and Parks Department or through concessionaires across the state. This pass, available for 12 or 24 months, covers your parking fee required at some state parks throughout Oregon.
